A long-time resident of Phoenix, died Tuesday the 4th of April at home surrounded by her

They were married in Italy in 1937 and moved to Detroit, Michigan, before finally settling in Phoenix, Arizona. Maria loved her family, cooking delicious food, and her beautiful garden, which was the showcase of the neighborhood.

She will be deeply missed by her family and friends. Maria is preceded in death by her husband, Frank Patchett, daughter-in-law, Connie Patchett, and her granddaughter, Regina Patchett. She is survived by her children, John Patchett, George Patchett and his spouse Debbie Patchett, Ann Wagner and her spouse Henry Wagner, and Maryjean McBride and her spouse Louis “Bud” McBride; her ten grandchildren; and many great-grandchildren. The Funeral Mass will be held on at 10am, Wednesday, April 11th, at Saint Theresa Catholic Church located at 5045 E. Thomas Road. Interment will follow at St Francis Catholic Cemetery.

    Harry remembers the first time he met Aunt Marie (while he was working in Phoenix) and she asked him if he would like a “snake”; I translated it to “snack”, but we continued to use the phase “do you want a little snake” even to this day when we want to be overtly friendly. Aunt Marie was warm and loving and we will always remember her fondly.

    How I loved Zi Maria and so glad she stayed with me a couple of times. Even Luigi enjoyed her company. He wouldn’t stop talking to her. She was always pleasant and had a smile for everyone. She will truly be missed.

    Our deepest condolences to your family John, George, Ann, and Maryjean… We were just talking about Aunt Maria today with Anna Lee and the family in MI. She was a lovely woman and thankfully lived a beautiful and long life before being taken back home to be with our Heavenly Father. We pray God’s peace is upon each of you and we regret not being there as part of Aunt Maria’s funeral service. Love,

    The DiPaolo Family (Robert, Mary, and Nicole)
